4.6.2 SWITCHING CHANNELS WHILE RECORDING

Because your PVR10HD has twin tuners, you are able to record two channels from two separate transponders
(such as Channel 9 and Channel 10). At the same time, you are also able to watch a third sub-channel for
Channel 9 or Channel 10 live.

For example, if you are recording Channel 9, and Channel 10 simultaneously, then you are able to watch a third
sub-channel from either the Channel 9 transponder, or the Channel 10 transponder (ie. you can watch ONEHD or
